TRENDS TO LEAVE BEHIND IN 2013

This past 2012 we enjoyed some beautiful trends that luckily we are keeping this current year, but there were others that were really painful to watch. Here is my top 5 with no particular order:

1.HEEL-LESS SHOES 

Honestly... how the hell u manage to...? I thought the beauty of  sky-high heels were, uhm... the heels!

2.MEGGINS 

W-T-F?

3. CROSSES AND TRIANGLES 

I think it's about time to knock it off with these... seriously.

4. FLATFORMS 

JUST NO.

5. ULTRA SHARP SPIKES

Don't get me wrong, I really like studs and spikes, I have really enjoyed this trend but when it comes to ultra sharp I feel like my eyes are in jeopardy.

CONSTANZA OQUENDO CARACAS

Continuing on my quest rediscovering my home city I found this great designer, Constanza Oquendo, 

Her high-end style gives an elegant and clasic touch to her pieces evoking the golden age of the city, Caracas.

Take a look on her capsule collection named Plancton. I completely fell in the golden Skirt+Jacket outfit and those flowy purple pants!

INSPIRING SUNDAY MUSIC: ALPINE

Since I didn't write anything in the past days im gonna make it up to you with this post. 

This band was one of my favorite in past 2012, their music was playing in my head pretty much all year long.

Have you ever heard of them? They are from Melbourne, Australia and features duet vocals Phoebe and Lou, with these four guys Christhian (guitar), Ryan (bass), Phil (drums) and Tim (keys).

Alpine first appeared on scene in 2009, released their debut EP "Zurich" in 2010 and their debut album named "A is for Alpine" in 2012 and I honestly can get enough of it. It is sexy, sophisticated music and at the same time it can get very sweet. LOVE IT. 

HOT COLOR TREND: EMERALD GREEN

Lanvin, Miu Miu, Gucci F/W 2013 

Tangerine Tango it's already part of the past, for 2013 Emeral Green is the new top color according to the Pantone's Color Institute, picked  based on how is already being used in the streets and a prediction of sustained popularity. They explain that since 90's we're are paying more and more attention to nature, so the family isn't new but we have to look at the psychological background: Green is a balanced color, it's a color of growth, renewal, healing and regeneration... something we all are in need at this point of history.

Here some pieces I fell into completely, my favorite is the Chalotte Olympia Clutch... I-LOVE-IT!

1. Shourouk Diamonds Earrings, 2. Charlotte Olympia Spider Pandora Perspex Clutch, 3. Alice & Olivia Pleated Maxi-Skirt, 4. Opening Ceremony Emerald Dot Brocade Trousers, 5. Sergio Rossi Heels, 6. Dolce & Gabbana Transparent Green Acetate Cat-eye Sunglasses, 7. Le Metier de Beaute Limited Edition Holiday Nail Lacquer, 8. Carina Dolci Eye Shadow in Black with Emerald glitter, 9. Limited Production Emerald Hand Painted Feathers Pillow.
